7 Simple Thanksgiving Recipes to Help You Get Through the Holiday

Un-Spiked Punch: No one wants to see your mom's c-section scars again this year. Go ahead and swap out the spiked stuff with some Juicy Juice. If you can, try to save the spiked punch somewhere for you to sneak back to your dorm for your own post-Thanksgiving party!

"Gluten Free, I Swear" Rolls: Seriously, just switch out the gross rolls with real ones. Nobody wants to eat those, everyone was just being polite in the group email. Yes, your second cousin will break out in a rash on over 80% of her body for the next two months, but she should have thought of that before she decided to be prettier and more athletic than you anyway.

Cranberry Sauce Surprise: The only person who actually eats this is that one uncle who totally low-balled your graduation card. He's a legit millionaire and only gave you $10, really?

To make those chemicals kick in even more, you'll want to add a nice handful of your aunt's Ambien to the stuffing. Claim you're a vegetarian this year and you'll be enjoying the dog show in peaceful silence.
